Shifters Forever #1
Shifters Forever First Bites Box Set
Grizzly bear, white tiger, tiger, leopard, and panther shifters must decide who they can trust -- and who they can't live without.
This collection contains the first books in several of the Shifter Forever series, and a related standalone novel.
PROTECTION
Grizzly bear shifter Grant Waters wants one woman--Curvy Chelsea O'Reilly. He's wanted her since they met. Except he's worried his secret may be too much for her. It may be what sets her running.Curvaceous Chelsea works at a salon in Bear Canyon Valley. She gets butterflies when Grant's around. But she's got her own baggage. Plus, she thinks that Grant would be better off with the local, stunning, curvy, widowed-way-too-early Mae Forester.
CONTROVERSY
Remember Vax? He made a cameo in Shifters Forever: Seduction. He's back! Shifter Vax Tiero runs After Dark. A nightclub that doubles as a haven for shifters. Man, did he screw up, falling for the curvy graduate student Callie Rivera. That's a no-no because of the Tiero Council Code. One of the tigresses is a furious, petulant visitor whose jealousy puts Callie in danger. Now Vax has two problems. Keeping Callie alive and keeping that he's a shifter secret from her. Wait. Two?!? Make that three problems because his half-brother, an equally sexy, shifter named Rafe is in from Europe for a visit. And he's got his eye on Callie. He'll waste no time going for what he wants while Vax is taking care of After Dark. Two hot shifter males and a hot-tempered shifter female promise sparks, melee, and drama.
FORBIDDEN
Jaclyn "Jax" Vasquez has a problem. Her parents are in town for a surprise visit. If they see her boyfriend, Scotty, the proverbial $h1t will hit the fan! She needs help and chooses the first--and only--option, the indigo-eyed stranger in the corner. What could possibly make this worse? He's a white tiger shifter, and she's got a secret. Sparks and fur fly!
DESIRABLE
The last time he saw her he promised to spank her curvy derriere. This time, he may do a lot more than that! Curvalicious Natalya thought she'd never have to grow up. And then she met Lézare. The man who makes her want to be the woman she's never been. Except his family hates her, and as far as she knows, he does too. So the only option she has is to go to the Shifter Masquerade Ball in disguise. Lézare desires Natalya. There's something about this spunky, sassy, mouthy, pouty curvy girl.
UNBOUND
Glory Aleman is bound to her duties, and bound by ancient law. She's pledged to a shifter of another family to keep old bloodlines alive. Mae's nephew, Dane Forester has been anything but bound... He's a freewheeling, sexy, successful, movie star who uses every role and every woman to escape and forget the heartbreak he left in Woodland Creek. Great, right? Sure, right up until a will-reading brings him back to Woodland Creek, and back to that which he never really escaped. Again, no problem, right? Oh-so-very wrong. Glory's bound to another man, slated to become his in less than a month. This was the role Dane Forester was meant for.

Miss Elle Thorne is the reason I read shifter romance books. Her stories are compelling, they hook you into the world she has created so beautifully that you never want to leave.
Each book in this set is the start of a series but remember even within series each book is about a different couple so while there are over arcing story lines in each series and over arcing characters between series (you will realise what I mean when you meet Mae) each of her books can be read as a stand alone and out of sequence if you want.
All I can tell you is do yourself a favour and grab this while you can it's a great introduction into not only Miss Thorne's writing story but also into the world she crates for both her characters and her readers to inhabit.

Shifters, shifters, everywhere. gorgeous white tigers, leopards, elementals, bears. Each and every shifter novel is entwined with the next, each a family member, some not even realizing they had connections to other relations. Three shifters chose human mates, the rest different species. A must read for those who love shifter novels and are tired of only finding wolf or bear shifters. The novels run together so fluidly, you get pulled right into their world.

Once again I have found a good book in this story. I found it hard to put it down until the end.

First, let me tell you some good news. Every story in this box set can be read as a standalone and in the order you wish! Second awesome news, romance is in every page. Who doesn’t love a mixture of sweet, protective, steamy, and sexy romance? I have to admit I am not such a fan of box sets, well, at least when they hold multiple different stories. Nevertheless, this author made me change my mind. You will be introduced to a world of multiple shifters. Which is your favorite? Bears, tigers, panthers? You name it and this boxset has it!
Elle Thorne stole my attention from the very first pages of the first story, Protection. Grant was so sweet and sexy at the same time. There is something about a man who is shy and careful not to scare the one he loves but also wishes forever with her. I had some alpha male in the mixture but I just love the protective streak he has with his mate to be.
Personally, I love how these amazing shifters change the lives of their mates to be in the blink of an eye. The mates weren’t expecting it, some even though they wouldn’t be given the time of the day, but life has in store for you much more than what you anticipate. In my opinion, it is very comforting how characters grow their self-stem through the novel. For example, in Protection, Chelsea thought her ass was too big and that Grant just wanted to be nice to her. I really don’t understand how she couldn’t see the guy was head over heels for her since a very long time ago. Nevertheless, no one can fault her after everything she went through. I am sorry, I am not one to kiss and tell. You will have to read the book and find out My favorite part of the book isn’t truly the sexy scenes or even the sweet ones. It certainly wasn’t the intrigue in some scenes, but the deep connection that was felt between our hero and heroine, one that goes beyond simple chemistry. I truly felt that more than mates, they were soulmates because it just felt that everything was right when they finally go together and that everything would have been lost If they hadn’t.
I would really recommend these novels to any fan of the paranormal romance who loves to mix it with some drama, comedy, adventure, thriller and more.

Receive this art for an honest review.
Oh I'm going to be honest I was mad when I first started reading this book that's what happens when you don't take the time to find out what the book is about first. I kept thinking I've read these stories and then I thought ok go see what's going on that's when I had my moment of clarity all these stories are about the first book in every series. Had to laugh at myself for not paying attention to what I was reading.
The list of books is a nice introduction to the world of Elle Thorne you get a little bit of all her series and that helps you know whether or not you like the books enough to continue each series individually.
I have not been disappointed in any of the books I read written by Elle Thorne.

this is a supernice set that introduces you to the different shifters from miss thorne. they're all in the same world so in some stories you will come across some familiar names, places and mentions of events. each series can be read on their own, but when you read the series somewhat in order it builds up to a nice world and how they're all connected.
bears, tigers, you'll find them all in here!
i have bought all the boxed sets from the books mentioned in this series but was offered this set for free in exchange for an honest review.

This is an awesome set of books, the first story in each of Ms Thorne's series. It was a fantastic introduction to her writing. The series are all related yet all stand alone just fine. Her characters are well rounded, people you want to be friends with, and exciting storylines. I'm intrigued enough by the hints of other stories to want to read more!
As an independent reviewer for Romance Authors that Rock, I give these stories a full four and a half hearts! Only one made me cry, but they definitely kept me reading!!

This is a wonderful collection by Elle Thorne and is made up of the first book in each of her shifter series. With this, you get a nice taste of Ms. Thorne’s writing, characters and world of which you will quickly become addicted. So far I’ve enjoyed all that I’ve read of Ms. Thorne’s writing and am looking forward to reading some more of her work.

Unique Stories
I can't remember if this was an ARC copy so I'll just tell you this review is voluntary. Each book in this boxed set is unique with complex and interesting characters, strong storylines; some with suspense, some with humor, and some with adventure. I definitely recommend this box set and I give it ten stars. Enjoy!

I liked it, but after reading the first 2 stories, it felt very repetitive.Like if you've read one, you've read them all. The characters are all very similar.(The men very handsome, the women curvy and always in disbelief that the guy likes them).By the time i got to the last story, i wanted to skip the last pages.

First Bites
Do some unknown reason I just couldn't stay connected to this book, or to the boxed series. I found myself flipping pages, I honestly tried to finish reading it, but sorry to say that's not the case. I very rarely find a book that doesn't hold my interest..

*I voluntarily read this book. All opinion stated are solely my own and no one else's*
A great collection of shifter romance books and I thoroughly enjoyed them. All the stories are interconnected - but I loved how each shifter won the heart of their mate.
